Need to replace the oil pan gasket on my 94 Accord EX. There is an exhaust down pipe that I will probably need to remove to get access. Does anyone know if there are exhaust gaskets I need to order for that down pipe, when I re-install it? If so, where can I find them online. I live far from a Honda dealer, and the diagram I saw on line from the dealer site doesn't show the gaskets individually.

 

Don't you have a parts store close to your living area somewhere's?

 

i have reused those gaskets with no exh leaks after reinstalling ,,

 

I did find some on a parts website I have had good luck with, Partsgeek. The local parts store is hit or miss with the correct application on Japanese car parts and cost about what a dealer charges, for the privilege of waiting for UPS to deliver to their shop. There is also Auotzone- but the quality of their gaskets suck! I know this from experience.

I've reused the similar gaskets on an Integra, but there's always some risk that they come apart on you.

Also I think there might be little steel rings embedded into the pan gasket, around each bolt. Make sure they come off with the gasket & don't leave them behind to mess up the new gasket.

 

Thanks for the tip on the steel rings. Will the new gasket have them?

 

Maybe... If not, then the old gasket probably doesn't have them. I don't remember if ALL cars ALL years have that. My 95 Integra had them.
